Samenvatting
This paper proposes a novel signal processing technique for automotive radar. This new technique is based on a multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm that is one of high-resolution algorithms. Introducing a time averaging and spatial smoothing technique into the MUSIC algorithm was found to improve the azimuth resolution. This is due to the increase in the effective number of snapshots. This is applied into a real-time millimetre-wave radar system for estimating target position. Despite a limited number of snapshots, the target recognition performance was improved. This technique is especially effective when objects in front of the host vehicle are moving side by side. For the covering abstract see ITRD E134653.
